Hey. I was wondering if there’s any Intel made cpu that can compete or even surpass the speed and power efficency of Apple’s M chips?

Efficiency? Nope, TSMC 3nm is just magic like that. That being said, modern desktop flagships pretty comfortably outpace anything Apple can make, and can be acquired for a fraction of the price.
It’s more down to the On Die SOC my man, that’s the magic, has been since M1. But ultimately you can’t compare them directly. IBM’s newer big iron, makes our “desktop flagships” look like rowboats, and they should at 6ft high and 600v. Apples and oranges my dudes.
No it doesn’t, if you’re talking about mainframes. They are slower than top end desktop chips. Mainframes are fast because they run relatively simple code and the developers invest a lot in software efficiency.
If they did, they’d be building super computers using IBM chips rather than AMD and intel.
IBM are pretty much off the top500 now: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/TOP500
N3B is not magic. M3 is <10% more efficient than M2 in cinebench, and some of that uplift surely comes from architecture.
